I'm going to wait and see what becomes of this rumour, before declaring Nintendo collectively insane.

Looks good, but also very unconfortable.

They look good, but not confortable for console home gaming. So no.

controller looks awful, and looks like it feels awful to hold it as well

kinda too flat!?



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I don't understand what's going on with Cafe' yet.  And if whats shown in the OP really is representative of its main controller then Ninty has a lot of explaining to do.

 

A secondary screen on the controller for things like maps and inventory makes a lot of sense but its not enough to make the math come out right.  A prominent secondary screen as shown in the OP is going to be cumbersome if over used, and a poor value otherwise.

 

It don't add up, E3 can't get here soon enough.

I do think a screen on the controller is possible- Nintendo has tried it before, but not seen any real success due to the need for a portable system per player, AND the link cables. But it won't be the main focus; I think the IGN mockup is more likely than the OP. But I don't really see either as good options, as motion is too hard to do with either of them. The motion, especially for backwards-compatibility with the Wii, will be the toughest part.

i wouldn't mind if the screen is optional, not sticking out like a sore thumb like that.

unlike most people, i think its a great idea, imagine playing pokemon with this, all your pokemons are saved on your cup (controller) and you can play on any Cafe (console) -lolmetaphors- and challenge others without going online or sending save files and all that stuff.

with today's smartphone, they all use motion and gyros , albiet different from the way the wiimote works, but i'm sure they'll figure out a way to make it a classic controller with a screen AND a wii mote like controller, but the thing i'm wondering is, how much would one controller cost.

Personally I don't think the new Cafe screen-controller will be used to replicate Wii motion.  Instead, I think you'll have to use your Wii remotes for backward compatibility on Cafe, just like you needed your Gamecube controllers for BC on the Wii.

I believe the contoller/screen is their new idea, with motion/pointer being supported with a separate controller.
